Add It

To Your Routine

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
Never take this for granted !

“Start each day

with

a grateful heart”

First thing in the morning,

we get up,

wash,

dress,

have breakfast

and get ready for the day.

Can we add to this

having a ‘grateful heart’?

By bringing this

into our routine

every single morning,

we will start to

‘do this’

without even thinking about it.

Think about

“WHAT”

you have to be grateful for.

You slept safely

through the night.

You have woken up

this morning,

got up

and moved about.

Many people

are disabled or ill

and cannot

get up or move about

by themselves.

We should be Grateful that we Can.

You had a nice wash,

in your own bathroom,

and have nice and decent clothes

to wear.

A homeless person

would be happy

to share a bathroom

and to have warm clothes to wear.

It is so easy to take this for granted.

We have places to go to today,

work,

school,

college,

the shops

and even our family.

Those who live in war-torn countries

have lost all of this.

This really is something to be grateful for!

Take a few minutes

to sit down

and think

about what other things

you have in your life

to be grateful for.

Write it down

if you want to.

Yes,

every single one of us

has something

to be “Grateful” for

in our Lives.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
